When shopping for a good cheap treadmill for running there several things you need to take into account besides price. One of these other consideration is how much room do you have in your home. Treadmill come in a variety of sizes and there are even models which fold up so that they take up less space when not in use.

You’ll also have to decide whether you want an electric or manual device? The electric treadmills usually take more room and have a lot of extra equipment that you might not need although they are much easier to use and probably more effective. The manual option is going to work out cheaper but requires more perseverance to get used to and has a greater chance of ending up as an expensive clothes horse.

If you want to by using a payment plan then Nordic Track is a good brand and has several different options depending on your circumstances. They also have a plan with low monthly payments if you aren’t really in a financial position to buy a piece of exercise equipment. Although this is not the cheapest way to go over the term of the agreement, it might be the only way you can make a purchase with the budget available.

For thsoe with very little to spend there is always the manual Treadmill from Phoenix. It has a 41.5×13.5 inch belt which lets you achieve your own walking or running speed. It folds and locks in up right position for storage, so is perfect for those lacking in space.

It also has a few extras such as the device which measures distance and speed. It also has the ability to measures time and it estimates calories burnt to help you get the most from you workouts. It does all this on two aa batteries and guess what! They’re included. It comes almost completely assembled too, which is a plus if your not mechanically inclined like me.

There may be only one small problem. If your walking because your greatly over weight, because it has a 250lbs weight limit. It’s your choice.

My best advice is to take walks outdoors as often as you can. Take a look at this wonder world God has provided for us. Smell a rose, take a picture, speak to a neighbor. You might even make a new friend.
